Cycle Guide

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.

NOTE:

To repeat the same cycle and options used in the previous wash cycle, select Start twice.

Descriptions:

Quick Wash

For fast results, this cycle will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select

a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.

NOTE:

Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles; please refer to your detergent

packaging for more information.

Normal

This dishwasher’s government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heated

Dry (Short) option selected.** This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash

and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes.

Enhanced Wash

This cycle is an enhanced Normal Cycle, and it uses more liters of water and heats it to a higher

temperature throughout a longer cycle time to improve cleaning performance. Defaults to Heated Dry (Long)

for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*

Heavy

Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. Defaults to Heated Dry

(Long) for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*

Extended Soak

This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to presoak dishes,

saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during this cycle, add prewash detergent. Use

this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried-on or hard-to-clean baked-on food. Defaults to Heated Dry

(Long) for improved drying. Includes a Heated Dry (Short or Long) option.*

Options:

Descriptions:

Heated Dry

(Short)

Dries dishes with a Heated Dry (Short or Long) cycle. Load Plastic items in upper racks. This dishwasher’s

government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heated Dry (Short) option

selected.**

Heated Dry

(Long)

Increases the cycle time and temperature to provide improved dry performance over the Heated Dry (Short)

option. For best drying results, use Heated Dry (Long) and rinse aid. Load plastic items in upper racks.

*The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle and may increase your energy usage. See the Normal cycle

description for the government energy certification cycle.

**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the dishwasher was not subjected to truncated testing.

Rinse aid was not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.
